      OFF: Relay output off
      -
    4. Check for stop light control relay (stop light switch assembly) operation using the Data List and stop light operation by performing an Active Test.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Data List content and stop light operation are normal. A
      Data List content and stop light operation are abnormal or Data List content is normal but stop lights do not turn on or off. B

    Result: 

    See step  6

    Result: 

    See step  4

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STP2 CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Clear the DTCs (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Perform a road test.
    5. Check if the same DTC is output (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1380 is not output. A
